Hello team,
Are full join and cross join (cartesian product) same thing in SAS?

By definition they are not the same at all regardless of what software you use to do them.

No there're not: A full join joins on key values.
Unless you omit the keys as in:
from TABLE1 full join TABLE2 on 1
which means that there is no join criterion and you create a cross join
By definition they are not the same at all regardless of what software you use to do them.
